If I recall correctly from my Honda days, CRXs don't weight all that much. Somewhere in the ballpark of 2500lbs in stock trim. My dad used to have one, and it was actually pretty damn cool, especially the little extra piece of glass at the end of the hatch enhancing visibility.

The B18C1 swap is the most common of Honda swaps. For the price of a B18 alone, I can hand you a 240SX that will go faster than a 350Z.

Sorry for straying off topic, but I love talking about stuff.

At a ClubSi meet, I met a few people running turbos on B16s and 18s. Everyone there who had forced induction for more than 10,000 miles had mild gasket leaks. They said you can run at 6psi for a pretty long time...but any more than that, you're looking at a rebuild in 40-60,000mi
My friend is building a JDM B18C (10.6:1 compression) hatchback. He wants to get a turbo for it and stuff, but that's a while in the future. So far he just has the B18 engine in and the suspension on the hatch done.
For the price of everything he's done so far...he could have built a 240SX that runs 13s and turns really fast. His excuse for not doing that instead? "Didn't like how the 240 feels," which translates into "Don't like how a real sports car feels."

Now, back on topic.

hehehehe.. my friend has that motor. it looks like a d16y8 from a honda civic ex. SOHC 1.6. My friend DESTROYED, I mean GROTESQUELY MUTILATED one of those with a 75 shot on the first run with nos. I don't trust that SOHC motor at all, it's practically made of nothing but recycled pop cans. Not that I'm an expert on hondas or anything, I just kinda witnessed that one first hand from beginning to end because the guy lived with me.

There's several variations of the D-series from a 100 horsepower one, to the 130 horsepower one found in the Civic EX. They're actaully well designed and reliable engines, but HARDLY biased towards performance...I estimate 150 crank if he has the 100hp version, and I estimate about 170 if he has the 130hp version.
